Howto debug c++ (SWIG) extension under Windows

[Alexander Eisenhuth]

Hi alltogether,

I use ActivePython 2.4.1 , also the debug part from 
http://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePython/etc/ and VC 6.0 unter Windows XP.

I can't figure out howto debug my c++ extension. If i compile it as 
release version, I've of course no chance to set a breakpoint. If I 
compile as debug I get the Error-window:

... missing MSVCR71D.dll ...

when I try to start or debug my application. Now I've only ;-) two 
questions:

1) Is it possible to debug a C++ extension in that environment anyhow ?
2) How do I have to setup the development environment in that I can debug ?

Thank you in advance for your ideas, links, help, hints or whatever ...

Regards
Alexander
